I was simply answering the question based on if you do use carpet what is a good color?

You're gonna need to provide more color here.

Looking for suggestions on a white paint color to go with the dark wood trim. 

The kitchen cabinets, they are two different colors.

We introduced a new color scheme for our new construction homes.Once the exterior paint was finished, we realized that we strongly disliked the color we chose for the garage door.Easy fix, spend the money to repaint the garage door and update the color package for future homes.Hiccups like this happen every day in this industry.

Negotiating a better deal at this time doesn't solve the problem, it just masks it.

Should I stain these doors and hardwood floors a dark expresso color, or lighten them, or just leave them alone?

I’m just trying to figure out what the extra $130 is for and they won’t tell me.Is this still a case of the property owner not doing their due diligence or is it perhaps an intentional attempt to mask egregious fees on the part of an unethical PMC?

But, just to add some color.

I think whenever you are getting advice from someone it's important to always consider the source to identify the incentives that person has to give a certain answer and how it colors their thoughts.
